Someone sent me this clip the other day, and I thought it was worth a quick post. Did you remember that Prince Joffrey from Game of Thrones (Irish actor Jack Gleeson) had a super-brief cameo in Chris Nolan’s first batman movie, Batman Begins? He shows up cowering behind Katie Holmes like the little booger-faced milk baby he is, saying “Batman will save us,” and sure enough, Batman swoops down from the rafters to take down a bad guy before running off, missing a golden opportunity to slap the sh*t out of the little turd in the process. Dinklage 1; Batman 0.

By the way, I’ve always wanted to deliver some overwrought line to a broad, then swan dive off her balcony like a boss. That’s going on my bucket list. “Always remember… lefty loosey… righty tighty.” (*kite surfs back into the night*)

Joffrey also shows up earlier in the film. Batman’s climbing a building in The Narrows, doing some snooping, and this kid walks out onto the balcony. He sees Batman, then gets all sad and whiny and says something to the effect of, “They’ll never believe I saw you”, so Batman throws him one of his gadgets.

Looking back, I wish Batman had slapped him, Tyrion-style, and told him to harden up.

I just realized that little prick was in it on the ba;cony scene when i saw BB last week during one of the 500 screenings on FX. He says to Batman no one will believe him that he saw him and Batman just throws him a $20,000 dollar tool he was using. Hey 20Gs is no sweat off Batmans balls.

Actually when R. John Blake was first introduced in TDKR, I thought he might have been that kid, due to Blake’s oddly inexplicable confidence in Batman. If that kid was 10 years old at the time of Batman Begins, he would be about 19 during the events of TDKR, which kind of makes sense for a hot-headed rookie cop right out of the academy.
